The Edward Vick Prize for Innovation in Teaching is awarded to a faculty member in the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media whose creativity and innovation in teaching over the past academic year most meaningfully enhanced his or her students’ learning experience. This award currently comes with a generous $12,000 prize.

The prize is named for Edward Vick, a 1966 graduate of the school and one of the most creative and innovative executives in the advertising world. He retired as CEO of Young & Rubicam, a worldwide leader in marketing communications, in 2001. Over the course of his career, Vick became known as a passionate leader and team builder who could turn around ailing creative organizations and propel them toward growth and prominence. He believes change and innovation are critical to success — in business and education. He was inducted into the NC Media & Journalism Hall of Fame in 1996.

Nomination information, process and forms are available to UNC Hussman faculty and staff on the school intranet.
